Life Altering - Chalean Extreme Review
July 30, 2009 5:30 AM
I have just completed ChaLEAN Extreme's 90 Day Program and I can honestly say that I have never felt stronger or more fit in my entire life! I have been in great cardiovascular shape for nearly 20 years. I have completed half marathons and triathalons and kick A$% in my cycling workouts.
What Chalene's program offered that I didn't have before was a consistent strength training routine utilizing heavy weights to the point of failure for each exercise. Previously, any workout using weights consisted of 5 - 10 lbs and high amount of repetitions. Chalene's program focuses on using heavier weights (up to 15lbs per arm for me, and 24 per leg), building that muscle, and burning fat!
So, the heavier weights, coupled with the schedule of 3 days of weighlifting, 2 days of cardio and 2 rest days CONSISTENTLY, has paid off.
What this routine has done for me is that it has sculpted and toned my body, in all of my problem areas! Abs, Thighs, Rear. I have Michelle Obama arms!!!
My friends and I did not know what we were in for when we started the program, but we committed to following it for 90 days and incorporating high protein meals and snacks into our routine just as Chalene says....and you know what? It worked!
It has been a wonderful journey and I am sad that it has come to an end. However, I am well aware that fitness is a LIFELONG PURSUIT, so our next challenge that we have chosen for ourselves is P90X! Of course, I could just do Chalene's Lean for Life forever if Tony is too hard on me ;)
Over and out until later...
